Hi, I was in 2 VP from 1994 - 2001.  C-Coy 7 and 8 PL and Mortars.  I'm trying to track down some old friends.  Since the move to Shilo I lost track of alot of them.  Anyone know anyone who was or is still in 2 VP during this time???

Ask and ye shall recieve, what and who do you need to find. Lots of guys are gone, but ther are still some old die hards kicking around.  Mortars always had a great canteen not as good as AAP's though.

I was in 7 PL as well.

My vote is for the Recce Pl canteen. We could smoke in ours.
I would put TOW's & Mortars tied for second. Sigs, you guys needed work.

 

[radop215]

I always liked Mortars best.  I know we sucked but we could smoke in our vehicle bay.  at least darth vader never came to visit us

[radop215]

Hey guys from PPCLI

I m looking to see if Bob Klingbile is still in the Regiment.  He is originally from Windsor.

If so, can provide a contact email?

Thanks

Greg

He is still in and deployed to Afghanistan.  If I see him I'll point him in your direction...may take a while as the BG is spread out over a large area

Steve, good to hear from ya.

Its been quite awhile since I was in 2VP. I came through battleschool with Andy Lamash, Johnny Fraser, Jim Meek and Joe Boucher. I don't know if any of those guys are around.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

I know Jim Meek.  Do you wish to contact him.  If so send my your info in a PM.

andy is a lineman now in edmonton, johnny is in the 3rd, jim should still be in the 2nd, havent seen him in a while, and joe (killer) is out.  i think killer is a carpenter or something now.

 

[gazelle]

Jim was still in the 2nd as of less than a year ago

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

I guess I should have been more specific.  Mcpl Meek is still in 2VP.  If you wish I can send your information to him if you want to get in touch with him.
